CGMK Tutorial - Fractal Minerals ( with HIP file) from CGMonkeyKing on Vimeo.

Second tutorial on the mineral subject, where I go over creating a very simple system to simulate fractal growth to generate a mineral structure.

HIP File: drive.google.com/file/d/1cP1yYiCkMERYDMjAWkCzX6UmYlbr5HWC/view?usp=sharing

You can find the first tutorial here: vimeo.com/304116804

houdiniPill_01. Custom solver from Javier Toledo on Vimeo.

In this first houdini pill we are going to create a very simple solver that will make spheres grow until they hit each other. It's an easy tutorial but some vex and basic houdini knowledge is required.

I hope you like it, more coming soon!

Houdini Ice and Frost from Josh Clos on Vimeo.

Frost and ice growth system originating from collision points of snowflakes. It's delightfully procedural but became somewhat heavy; I'll optimize better next time. Everything was done in Houdini and rendered with Arnold.

The model is a scan of a beautiful sculpture by Georges Gardet called Drame au désert from threedscans.com

Earthquake in Paris - Arch of Triumph destroyed from StepByStepVFX on Vimeo.

I repurposed - again - a shot found on Youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=7m-Ql_zOB6E), around 2:30. The Arch was rebuilt using photogrammetry (RealityCapture) and Maya. It was then decomposed by cubic blocks in Houdini in order to get a more realistic destruction. RBD and Smoke simulations done in Houdini, rendered with Mantra. Surrounding buildings were built using NukeX and Maya. Camera was tracked in PFtrack. Trees were made in Speedtree and instanced in Houdini (packed disk primitives). Cars are very detailed models instanced in Houdini using point instancing. Cleaning of the plate was done in NukeX, as well as the compositing.

FX SHOWREEL 2019 from Fabian Nowak on Vimeo.

Collection of some of my favorite shots across all the shows I had the chance to work on, between 2014 and 2019. (at MPC, and Industrial Light & Magic)

A bit longer than the usual reel format, but this is my last one before leaving London, as I'm heading for a new personal adventure, so I made it last. :)

I am glad that I had the opportunity to create my own flying cameras, build all different layers and assemble them all together to make these funny breakdown shots. It was always a great reward for me after each crunch time at the end of these big shows to have a bit of fun with all the material we created.

This job is freaking awesome ! \m/

Game Development Toolset: Houdini @ GDC 2019 from SideFX Houdini on Vimeo.

A quick summary of just a few of the Houdini Game Development Tools recently developed at SideFX. GDTs are designed to make Houdini workflows faster and easier - so you can focus on your content development. And even though they're called Game Development Tools, many artists outside of that field find them super useful too!

More info on the GameDev Toolset here: sidefx.co/2HnmLME

Included in this video are:

1) GameRes - reduce meshes to game-friendly resolution 2) Instant Meshes - convert triangulated mesh to quad mesh 3) Mesh Tiler - create seamless tile-able geometry 4) Flow Map - Flowmap from curve input - Change obstacle count - Change flowmap strength 5) Physics Painter - paint physics objects onto any other object 6) RBD Director - easily control geometry fracture behaviour 7) Detail Mesh - Project detailed mesh onto template geometry 8) MapBox - import satellite data to a Houdini heightfield

The VFX School week-1 from arnaud giret on Vimeo.

An experiment from the first submission exercise at The VFX School.

Creating an attribute "vee" that selects a range of the +Y velocity of an animated map or animated vop noise. Then generate particles from the points of "vee" with inherited velocity + random vel in +Y. For each pt particles add a random pscale dupplicate it and add @P.y += @v; merge the pts and add a polywire. / add an emissive shader to those. Render/.

Desfronterizate Breakdown VFX Smoke from MIX Training on Vimeo.

A project my friend Luis Montemayor and I did, we had to replace on set smoke, the plates had smoke, Luis did and AMAZING Deep comp work to get the smoke I created in the plate, amazing comp. We had to MATCH Butch Locsin's smoke bombs which actually did a few of the other spots on set, so it was great to see our smoke against he's and it works great, super happy with the results we got, Enjoy!
